Job Description

The Acquisitions & Investment Team is responsible for identifying, evaluating, and executing investment opportunities that drive Digital Realty’s global growth strategy. The APAC team sources and underwrites data center acquisitions, platform investments, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships across APAC. Working closely with senior leadership, capital markets, development, legal, and operations teams, the group plays a central role in expanding Digital Realty’s portfolio and ensuring that every transaction aligns with the company’s long-term strategic objectives and disciplined investment criteria. The team operates in a fast-paced, analytically rigorous environment where intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, and the ability to navigate complexity across geographies and cultures are essential.

We are looking for a team member to join our Acquisitions & Investment Team. The team works in a mostly project-based format, so they will be working with a senior member of the team who will be leading the project/deal. This role is ideal for an ambitious, intellectually curious professional who thrives in environments that reward good judgment, creative thinking, and personal ownership. You will play a central role in sourcing, evaluating, and executing investment opportunities, working closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams.

• Lead or support the end-to-end evaluation of acquisition and investment opportunities, including market screening, target identification, financial modeling, due diligence, and deal execution

• Develop and present investment recommendations to senior leadership, demonstrating sound judgment and the ability to articulate the “why” behind conclusions

• Conduct rigorous financial analysis, including valuation, scenario modeling, and sensitivity analysis

• Manage due diligence workstreams, coordinating with legal, tax, finance, and operational teams to surface key risks and opportunities

• Prepare and review investment committee materials, ensuring analytical rigor and clarity of communication

• Provide ad hoc / analytical support for the executive leadership team

• Build and maintain relationships with advisors, intermediaries, and industry contacts to support deal origination

You may be a good fit if you:

• Are hard-working & have a good work ethic. (We never come across people who are good at what they do without having worked really hard.)

• Have curiosity & an aptitude for continuous learning (Everything we know is becoming obsolete fast.)

• Have commitment / a strong sense of responsibility (We have to be able to trust you that it will get done.)

• Have strong analytical skills and mindset & are a good problem solver

• Believe “pressure makes diamonds” and handle it with a sense of humor

• Are self-confident with a sense of perspective

• Enjoy helping senior professionals develop and grow professional and personally by giving upward feedback

How we (want to) roll

• We believe in having impact for the organization that we work for but also in personal development and growth.

• We believe in the power of teamwork, creativity and imagination. Working with a group of creative and imaginative peers and colleagues makes output better, the process more effective and the experience more interesting.

• We believe in the power of leadership. Good leaders make ordinary people do extraordinary things, and bad leaders make extraordinary people do ordinary things. Second, a leader should be distinctive in judgment, in helping his/her team develop judgment, and in motivating them. Third, leaders take full responsibility for the action and outcome of their teams.

• We believe in 80:20. You will always have more issues than you can tackle but only the time to solve three of them. Which three you pick will make all the difference.

• We believe in common sense and sensible personal judgment. It is always better and more pleasant to self-manage than to be managed by others.

• We believe in the necessity of risk-taking and delegation. Without taking risk, there is no upside. And without delegation, you will always be doing the same task or have no life outside work.
